Synopsis








 Five miles long and one mile high, carrying a million passengers to a new promised land, the good ship Hope was the fulfilment of a philanthropist's dream.  Yet a generation later land has not been sighted, rust cakes her gigantic hull, in the bowels sinister creatures proliferate and her motley human cargo dance, degenerate or die.  With dazzling imagination and blackest humour, James Lovegrove creates an unforgettable vision of a society that has lost its way.
 

 
Review







 'Blood courses through the book like a river in spate, but it is a tribute to James Lovegrove's writing that it is always held within the banks of credibility ...
James Lovegrove's controlled writing - the words accurate as an assassin's bullets - is the book's best argument against the anarchy of the unleashed future that is depicted so vividly in this first and fierce effort'
The Sunday Times

Apollo 17 Launch
A Saturn V rocket streaks toward space on the night of December 17, 1972, carrying the Apollo 17 crew, the last astronauts to explore the Moon. Leaving the lunar surface, Commander Gene Cernan said "we leave as we came, and, God willing, we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind." NASA is striving toward that goal with a bold new Vision for Space Exploration, which calls for renewed explorations of the Moon as well as journeys to Mars and beyond.
